Alive or dead?[edit]

The article gives no death date and is categorised in Category:Living people, but the leader says "was a writer" and follows in a manner generally used when writing about the deceased. Confusing. --Droigheann (talk) 01:00, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Droigheann. I have no evidence to indicate that he died since recieving the Donald Meek awards in 2015. Thank you for pointing out the problem with the tense in the piece and I will go and fix it now Catrìona (talk) 03:15, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
